More Wall Experiments

This is another wallpaper experiment I did, however with this one I pasted it onto the brick wall as the other wall was boarded.



The technique works great. There was just one issue about pasting it onto the wall without it getting any dirt onto it and since the whole place is dirty I wasn't sure how to come around this issue. Therefore, to solve this issue I thought it would be wise to paste the wall and then stick the cutout to it. This way the result would not get much dirty attached to it.

After attaching the cutout to the bricked wall, I thought i would attach it to the other wall, which I was working on yesterday. The photograph below shows the result of the cutout onto yesterdays cutout.

I must admit that this does not look so good. The cutout of the grass which I pasted onto the wall yesterday caught a lot of dust from the brush I was using, therefore it kind of blends with the wall, and the cutout I pasted today doesn't. But when I use this technique for my main piece I know what I need to do.

Wallpaper Experiment

This is a quick video made from photographs taken as I was doing the wall experiment.

This is just a beginning experiment for the wallpaper pasting idea. I will be add a few more cutouts to the wall as the grass doesn't quite work on its own. However, the wallpaper pasting technique works well and I think I will use this technique for my final piece but also include projections of drawings that will add detail to the wallpaper cutouts.

Spray Paint Experiment

This is the spray paint wall experiment. This technique does work well, especially for the much bolder areas of the animation if used this technique. However, this technique cannot be used for detailed areas of the piece that I intend to make.
